Frequently Asked Questions
The Group Rate allows partners to purchase a package of seats (e.g., 10, 20, 30, +) for The OpEd Project’s public workshops at an advantageous rate. Your organization pays upfront, and your team members can register for any eligible public workshop on our website using a unique code provided to you.
+ How does it work?
You select the number of seats you’d like to purchase and complete payment upfront. We issue a custom registration code with that number of uses. Participants apply the code when registering for any public workshop, and their registration is fully covered (no credit card needed and no administrative burden on your team to process individual registrations).
+ Which workshops can the code be used for?
Participants can use the code to register for any eligible public workshop listed on our website. We typically list workshops 6–9 months in advance, and new dates are added on a rolling basis.
+ How long do participants have to register?
Your designated people have a one-month registration window after the group rate is activated to claim their seat by registering for a workshop. They can register for any workshop date listed on our website. Because workshops are published on a rolling basis, this effectively gives participants a broad window (often up to ~12 months) to choose a date that works for them.
+ Who tracks usage of our group code?
A dedicated OpEd Project staff member manages all group partnerships and will be your main point of contact for planning and any questions. You’ll receive a monthly summary showing:
Who has already attended
Who is registered for upcoming workshops
How many seats remain
+ Why Might Teams Choose the Group Rate Option?
Group rates are a great fit when flexibility and accessibility matter most:
Flexible scheduling: Participants choose dates that work for them (we host ~3 workshops per month).
Diverse perspectives: Public workshops bring together leaders from across sectors and regions, creating a rich “lab of the public” for testing ideas and getting feedback.
Cost-effective: Group rates are the most affordable way to offer high-quality training to multiple participants.
Lower lift for partners: No need to coordinate a single date or manage logistics for a private session.
+ What if I have fewer than 10 people?
If you’re interested but have fewer than 10 participants, reach out and we’ll talk through the best option for your team.
+ What happens if all seats aren’t used?
Seats are intended to be used within the registration window. We recommend identifying participants early and sharing the registration code soon after purchase to maximize participation. Your OpEd Project point of contact can help you strategize to ensure strong uptake.
+ Can we add more seats later?
Yes! If there’s strong interest, additional seats can be added to your group package at any time, subject to availability.
